    Sourcing

    Nyanza Vanilla Extract Kit - Burlap & Barrel

    Vanilla is the fruit of a flowering vine. It takes as long as a decade for a vine to begin to produce fruit, and the white orchid flowers must be pollinated by hand. The pods grow in small bunches like bananas, and they take 6-9 months to ripen. After harvesting, they're cured in wooden boxes, where they turn from green to brown and develop their characteristic rich, complex aroma.

    In a climate and terroir similar to that of Madagascar, they develop a deep, rich aroma and flavor. We prefer the vine-ripened pods (standard pods are often picked slightly underripe as a shortcut) for their stronger, sweeter, more concentrated flavor.

    Bittercube creates slow-crafted, handmade products in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with real botanicals. Their mission is to make innovative, densely flavored bitters through thoughtful sourcing, meticulous production, and ongoing research, and to inspire elevated drinking experiences.
